Kaspersky Internet Security 2012

U S E R G U I D E
If you do not have access to Kaspersky Lab's update servers (for example, Internet access is restricted), you can call the
Kaspersky Lab headquarters (http://www.kaspersky.com/contacts) to request the contact information of Kaspersky Lab
partners who can provide you with updates on removable media.
When ordering updates on removable media, please specify whether you also require updates for the application
modules.
ADDING AN UPDATE SOURCE
By default, the list of update sources contains only Kaspersky Lab's update servers. You can add a local folder or a
different server as update source. If several resources are selected as update sources, Kaspersky Internet Security tries
to connect to them one after another, starting from the top of the list, and retrieves updates from the first available
source.
To add an update source:
1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Update section, select the Update Settings component.
3. Click the Update source button in the right part of the window.
4. In the window that opens, on the Source tab, open the selection window by clicking the Add button.
5. In the Select update source window that opens, select the folder that contains the updates, or enter an
address in the Source field to specify the server from which the updates should be downloaded.
SELECTING THE UPDATE SERVER REGION
If you use Kaspersky Lab servers as the update source, you can select the optimal server location when downloading
updates. Kaspersky Lab servers are located in several countries.
Using the closest Kaspersky Lab update server allows you to reduce the time required for receiving updates and
increase operation performance speed. By default, the application uses information about the current region from the
operating system's registry. You can select the region manually.
To select the server region:
1. Open the application settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, in the Update section, select the Update Settings component.
3. Click the Update source button in the right part of the window.
4. In the window that opens, on the Source tab in the Regional settings section, select the Select from the list
option, and then select the country nearest to your current location from the dropdown list.
UPDATING THE APPLICATION FROM A SHARED FOLDER
To save Internet traffic, you can configure updates of Kaspersky Internet Security from a shared folder when updating the
application on networked computers. If you do this, one of the networked computers receives an update package from
Kaspersky Lab servers or from another web resource that contains the required set of updates. The updates received
are copied into a shared folder. Other networked computers access this folder to receive updates for Kaspersky Internet
Security.
When logged on under a guest account in Microsoft Windows 7, updates are not copied into the shared folder. It is
recommended that you log on under a different account in order to allow copying updates.
